I have lived in Holden Hill for at least 35 years. Our closest six or so neighbours are all great and most have been here as long as us. We are all on first name basis and have the odd chat in the street.
I live on the Eastern edge and appreciate the hills views the reservoir and mature trees. The traffic is light and mostly local as we aren't on the way anywhere. I have cycled to work most of my working life along the Linear Park and still enjoy the occasional ride now I'm retired.
We have an investment property in the newer subdivision that was built on the site of the old Holden Hill primary school. As far as I am aware none of our tenants have had any issues with neighbours or crime. Whenever I visit the property the street seems well kept and quiet.
Being only 12km from the city and having the conveniences nearby I have always considered Holden Hill to be a bit of a sleeper suburb but going by the amount of infill happening at the moment I think developers at least have woken up to it.
